The biggest thing I can give my mom credit for is she taught me, and now I know, right from wrong.

We have a short season and we play a lot of back-to-back games, which means you play one night, then go home, sleep, and have to fly out for an away game the next night. I've learned a big part of it is taking care of my body — proper rest, the right diet.

I first picked up a basketball in the seventh grade here at Lake Hamilton.

The good thing is I learned discipline when I started playing basketball. My (Liberty) teammates laughed at me when I first got there because I asked what time the team dinner was. They laughed and told me we were on our own.

After we won the championship (in 2004), I got like six days off to go home and then I had to come back and be in New York.

When I first started playing, it was fun. It's still fun, but at the professional level, I have to look at whether or not I'm getting it done. The reality is if you're not, you can get fired.

It wasn't too hard, but I feel it now at this point in our season. Playing back-to-back seasons and going so hard, but mentally I try to push it back.

I waited my turn and tried to learn as much as I possibly could. I was behind Crystal, and just pretty much learning everything from her. She's a great person to learn from. She's a smart player, a very good player. I'm ready.

I went to the wrong building. Then I said to myself, 'They've built a new one.' Fortunately, I found it.
